Crystal snake

A crystal snake was a venomous reptile native to the moon Yavin 4.

The crystal snake had curiously translucent flesh that, with the naked eye under typical lighting conditions, could barely be seen. One sign that a crystal snake was present would be the small shimmer of light that reflected off its scales, or its deep black eyes. The venom that crystal snakes secreted when they bit was nonlethal. However, it could be extremely dangerous, since the victim of a crystal snake bite would fall into an hour-long deep sleep.

Hooded crystal snakes had the ability to flatten their neck.
